Reviews
Recommended for general purchase for public and elementary school libraries; a perfect nonfiction choice for reluctant readers. --School Library Journal Silly cartoon illustrations and a punny text convey a butt load of information about unusual behaviors (herring 'communicate through farts') and anatomies (a Sonoran coralsnake's butt looks like its head, which tricks predators). A 'Butt Bonus' feature with each entry adds related material. --The Horn Book Guide This hilarious book by Jocelyn Rish is full of awesome facts that kids are sure to retain, accompanied by artist David Creighton-Pester's colorful and expressive illustrations. --Red Tricycle If ever a science book begged to be read aloud, this is it, and the competitive approach to its crowd-pleasing topic will engender plenty of discussion and debate. --Booklist The book is a gas. Ripping good fun! --Kirkus Reviews
